This was one of our outdoor concerts in Fayetteville, NY at Beard Park. This great Dee Barton chart written for the Stan Kenton Orchestra opens with the Bone Section playing the melody (the lead one part can be dangerous!) The band features several solos by Central New York's finest jazz musicians.
